Your Annual Friendly Reminder That You Can’t Drive Boats Drunk Either

Get those grills going, coolers filled, and those boats in the water. The kick off to summer is here. Memorial Day Weekend starts now!

Seems like as good a time as ever to remind everyone that the same rules of the road apply on the water when it comes to drinking and driving.

Over the last few years DEEP (Department of Energy and Environmental Protection) rolled our their “Operation Dry Water” to try and cut down on drunken boaters out on the waters of Connecticut. This has been a nationwide initiative with the U.S. Coast Guard as well. Especially now as we enter the height of boating season.

So just remember to stay safe out there when drinking those delicious Shandy s on the water all summer. No one wants to get a BUI.
